tried the potatonator
managed to get a demo and took it for a few spins
not for me
had a similar prob with the hellfire
I realised that I like fairly neutral bottom contours on my boards, and with the V/double concave thingy I just wasn't coming right
lots of people will like this board tho
paddles like a dream and was very forgiving
good little small wave board
got the Activator instead - enjoying it heaps
will write a review on that

Deon JBay,
You should try the Spitfire...it doesn't have the single to double concave like those boards. it only has a slight single concave at the top half.

There's nothing a good surf session can't cure!
Agreed with hawaii boy, the spitfire is one board you should try, pretty functional and cover a wide arrange of conditions.
Maybe you want a take a look as well at the unibrow. More aggressive bottom contours but it will still feel familiar

Hey cuttle, any updates on the 6'4, interested to hear your thought on the volume upgrade, plus the switch to fst, now you have had the bigger pn a while

Wife headed off OS today.
Prior to that needed to find some quick cash to help fund her jaunt.
Put the 6'4" in Beachbeat for a quick sale.
Thankfully no one has bought it.
Will go and rescue it in a couple of days.
It was in the shop during that last swell.
Would have been great to have for first point.
Such a good paddler.
Every so often I wanted a little more rail line than the 6'2 had when it was 4' plus.
Got my bottom end groveller sorted so the potatonator is still the choice for 3-5' with overlap into my 4' plus board.
cuttle, groveller ? are we still talking bp? btw surfed the sp in that last swell at that point with varied results, so much speed but felt i needed more board under me,

Not sure if I should mention what I'm using as a bottom end groveller right now on here.
